Crotched Mountain conference focuses on making trails accessible

...The conference was held to educate trail builders and maintainers from across New England on the new federal guidelines, Federal Trail Accessibility, that are being released and published Thursday.
“We’ll have to adhere to these, we receive a lot of federal funds,” said Ama Koenigshof, trail builder and educator for the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference.
What she learns at the conference will also be passed on by her to 10,000 volunteers who help maintain the more than 2,000 miles of trails that are part of the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, she said.
